What is the homework load like? How much homework will my child have?

• KIS does not believe in just loading on a lot of homework. This is a big misconception that many people have of the IB program. Keeping in mind that each child is different, the homework assigned is not overwhelming AND kids still have time for a variety of after school activities. Long-term and large projects are given ample time and warning to complete.

How can I help my child with his/her homework?

• Follow up daily with your child to see what homework they have. Help reinforce at home the program requirements that your child fills out their School Diary each and every day, in every subject, and then use this to check for assignments each evening at home. Help your student schedule time so they don’t feel overwhelmed. Realize that you will probably help them with (not do) some of their larger projects. Example: Many parents will make a trip with their child to the Central Museum for history or cultural projects or help them create display boards for presentations. Most parents will find pleasure or pride in helping their child grow in this way, as they work together to do larger projects.
